April 02, 2025Why I Say No to a Wild West Assassin's Creed (General Discussion)Howdy partner! An Assassin's Creed game set in the Wild West is surely an interesting prospect. Even though there was an in-game teaser email (found in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) regarding this possible time period, we have yet to see this franchise tackle the Wild West setting. And after many years of surveys and comments for this time period being highly requested by many fans, I don't believe it is a good idea to find ourselves stalking our target from the shadows in the throes of the American Wild West. This episode is part of a "mini-series" of highly requested settings that I personally don't want to see done in Assassin's Creed. The other two episodes will be releasing in May & June. So, please check them out when they are available! Thanks for listening!-The Hooded Shadow...more18minPlay

February 26, 2025Assassins Creed II (Revisited Series)In this "Revisited Series" episode, we are looking back at one of the most beloved games in the franchise.

Each "Revisited Series" episode drops every last Wednesday of the month during Season 2 so stay tuned for more. Please enjoy and I will see you in the shadows...-The Hooded Shadow...more21minPlay
February 19, 2025Assassin's Creed Mirage is "reportedly" receiving a DLC expansion (Bonus)After striking a deal with a Saudi backed investor "Savvy Games Group," it looks as if Ubisoft will create a DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage after all. We may see it sooner rather than later. Furthermore, what stories are they going to potentially tell? I explore three interesting ideas in this episode. Please enjoy!-The Hooded Shadow...more23minPlay
February 05, 2025Extrapolating One Mechanic from a Game and Adding It into Another (General Discussion)With each game, mechanics seem to be forgotten or not improved upon. I guess that's what happens when you have multiple studios making an anthology-style series. It's really quite stupid to do, in my opinion. However, in this episode I go over some of my favorite mechanics and if I could take them from one game and insert it into another in order to improve the experience and elevating that particular game. This was a fun topic to tackle, and I hope you enjoy it!-The Hooded Shadow...more16minPlay

Please enjoy and see you in the shadows!-The Hooded Shadow...more15minPlay
